Tickling Fetish ‘Acceptance’ ?

[Aeveirra]

Hello all! 🙂

. I have a theory regarding ( what i think) is the best and most sexiest fetish in the whole world!..... knismolagnia <3 (technical term for tickling paraphillia).
As we all know, there is a multitude of different fetishes, kinks and overall sexual preferences people have for their respective... 'adult playtime activities' . Not to sound overly-bias here... but looking at it as objectively as you can does anyone think that having a tickling fetish is the easiest one to to tell your partner about?

. I hate to be blatantly honest about this, but there are some kinks out there (the MAJORITY), that are both more popular than tickling and also quite gross or embarrassing. Im not going to explicitly mention some... but look up the ten, or top twenty most popular fetishes, and you'll realize that many of them sound pretty weird or outright nasty. (or at least, they sound that bad to people who don’t have those particular kinks)

. I have loved tickling my whole life <3, and I am entirely a ticklee. Being tickled turns me on like nothing else! And honestly, I consider myself fortunate to like it, as opposed to having one of the other aforementioned kinks I might have had. I am also not embarrassed and not at all ashamed to admit being tickled turns me on as much as it does, and i have never had a problem telling my any of previous boyfriends about it.

. So, I have a few questions about how ‘acceptable’ you think this is. I am curious if anyone else considers having knismolagnia to be something they can easily tell their partner about or if it something they are uncomfortable with.

(If you have), How did you tell your partner (or past partners) that you were into tickling?(if you remember, how did they react?)
How early in the relationship did you tell them?
Are you a Ticklee, Tickler, or both? Which do you think is the most easiest to tell your partner?


~ ~ ~ Im really looking forward to hearing your answers to these! 🙂
(your answers don't need to be as long as mine, I just tend to have a lot to say. lol )

__________________~ ~ ~ My Answers ~ ~ ~ _____________________


How did you tell your partner, and how did they react?
I have had maybe a half-dozen relationships in my life. Not too many, but each situation was different. But there was one memorable instance i can think of. 🙂 my new bf and i were at the park, and we were talking & getting to know each other. After we kissed he first time he just came right out and asked me; “so, what are you into?”. I actually didn't understand his question at first and went on to say; “Oh, but I told you my hobbies already, remember? I like drawing and painting, and I'm into science and history...etc” then he said “No no no, I mean what you INto?” (emphasis on the ‘in’. ) ) Then I understood he meant kinks lol. My exact answer was something like this : “Being tickled. I really like it....It’s my biggest kink. Even though I'm very ticklish, it totally drives me crazy!”
His reaction: “Hahaha what? tickling? are you serious? I didn't even know that could be a kink! So....What if I tickled you right now?
I started blushing and gave him kind of a nervous smile, but before I could say something, he grabbed at my sides and tickled me. <3 Obviously it made me shriek and giggle uncontrollably, but he thought it was really cute!

How early in the relationship did you tell them?
As you may recall from my first answer, I said was was my ‘new’ boyfriend. This was our first ‘date’, hanging out along together at a park. He’s the one who asked me first, but this is something I tell the person i’m dating almost immediately. Or at east its one of the first things i try to mention early on.
Why at this time?
I think its important considering its my primary (only) kink/turn-on. For me, Its always good to tell a new partner this early because it gives me an idea about what they think of it, and if ill be happy dating them. If he were to say something like “don't you think thats kind of childish?’ theres a good chance neither of will be happy together if thats how he responds my divulging of such personal passions. ( Sadly, I have gotten that response before, which didn't make me feel bad about myself but it was insulting. I realized I couldn't date someone who thinks like that, because he’d probably hate tickling me and want to try other things. Im not really ‘open’ to other kinks at all.

[b[ Are you a Lee, Ler, or both? Which do you think is easier to tell someone?[/b]
As I said before, i am solely a ticklee (hehe, get it? sole!? *shamlessley giggles to myself * 😀 ) lol,.... But seriously, I do prefer being tickled. Personally I think its much easier to be a lee and tell your partner this, opposed to being a ler. Because in my experience more often than not, people do NOT like to be tickled, and I imagine telling that to someone who hates it would be challenging. Ive never been in that situation, but I suspect most people would be much more accepting of tickling you, than you doing it to them. Regardless, theres someone out there for everyone <3 and if your a ler you can still find the right person who is willing to let you tickle them.

A final word of encouragement; having a tickle fetish is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. It saddens me to see some people on here who are apprehensive about telling their partners about, and even feel bad about it. Don't 🙂 Tickling is amazing <3 Like I said in the beginning of this, its vanilla by comparison to others out there and you should never, ever be too scared to tell this to the person you care about. <3

I told my girlfriend I'm into pantyhose the first night. We were texting back in forth and she told me she is into bondage, so I said "what the heck" and told her i'm attracted to girls in pantyhose. It was shocking she told me she was into bondage being it wasn't like I met her on a fetish dating site or something. As soon as she said that I felt like I knew she was the right one for me. She was immediately into the idea of wearing pantyhose too, then a couple days later I told her I'm into tickling. She was immediately into that idea as well. Been 4 years and we still like to indulge in our fetishes.

I think that a lot of folks, myself included for the longest time, get so bogged down with the perceived "abnormal-ness" of their tickling fetish that they forget that at the end of the day..it's just tickling.
It's not (generally) seen as some massive fetish reveal like it would be if you were into sexing up goats or hammering your scrotum to a cutting board.
It's just..tickling.
If you're a guy and a tickler, no pressure dude, focus on heading out there and dating and find some playful girl that doesn't seem to mind tickle-fights, and if she's not completely repulsed by the idea of being tickled, broach the subject. If you focus on the relationship first, then there's not much a girl won't do for a guy she genuinely loves, and this one isn't too hard of a pill to swallow for many because..it's just tickling.
If you're a guy and you like being tickled? By God son, you're set with life. Go date whoever you want. I don't know any of my female friends (all who have absolutely know idea about the fetish) who would tell me they wouldn't happily agree if the man they love with all of their heart wanted to be tied up and tickled. Girls love that shit. They get to be in control, watch a guy they're attracted to and love squirm and thrash around with a smile on his face, and it adds a lighthearted touch to the bedroom.

The latter category is where I fit. I revealed my fetish to my then girlfriend, she said "This is easy, who doesn't like tickling guys they like?"
We're married now. Turns out that "tickling a guy she likes" was a pretty big turn on for her. Even with the bedroom play we were married over a year before I revealed the extent of my fetish, introduced her to the TMF and such, about two nights ago. She lit up like a Christmas tree, said "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" and then immediately made an account (The Triangle to my Rectangle) and now she's researching munches, gatherings, and is running in the living room while I'm playing video games to tell me that there's this thing called NEST in her home city (She's from Pennsylvania) and how much of a turn on for her it would be to sign me up to be "kidnapped" and tickled while she watched.

I've been to one munch my entire life years ago, and now my vanilla wife who only got into tickling because she liked to make me squirm is wanting to drag me (willingly) into a community I've fought guilt over wanting to be a part of for a LONG time.


It's just tickling man, there's no secret to "revealing" it to a loved one, other than working on the "love" part of "loved one" and going from there.

Probably naïve stance, I know a lot of folks have real issues telling their SO's and I'm standing here with rose colored glasses because I lucked out with my wife, so please forgive if I offended anyone.

Also think I didn't understand the topic of this post and went on a ramble instead.

Cheers

Id never admit to anyone I have a tickling fetish. ive admitted that im a tickle monster, but in a playful way, not a consumed way. im more open to admitting to being into feet than tickling. doesn't seem quite as odd.

I'll be straight up about it if I have a candidate for dating from online. It's real life that's the problem as I clamp up to myself, and I've never successfully approached someone who was interested in a cold approach. .....I just get so excited thinking about my fetishes I turn myself on and then realize I barely know the person. I can't turn off my fetishes, if it's not the tickling I'm thinking about it's the person themselves/their hair etc. Long story short, it's becoming a problem.

 

[U.N.Owen]

Tickling is about as mild and innocent a "fetish" as you could find. That doesn't mean everyone will be accepting of it, but it helps.

It's much easier to tell your significant other that you want to be tickled. Anyone who won't tickle their partner to make them happy is pretty much a jerk.

It's harder to tell your partner that you want to tickle them. That puts them in a more vulnerable position. Some people have had bad experiences with tickling and have to be willing to experiment to find out if they can enjoy it. But I'd like to think that if there's a real relationship to start with, a partner will make an effort to learn.

 

[OmahaTickler]

It kind of depends on what level of "acceptance" you seek. I personally would not want to tickle a woman who wasn't into it, i.e. just going along to be "submissive" or as routine or obligatory foreplay. I want her to be as turned on receiving as I am giving the tickling. This is why I'm not too keen on trying to "convert" women. Don't bother posting that you were successfully "converted" or that you "converted" your spouse or other significant other. There are exceptions to every rule, but I think overall, conversion is generally a losing proposition. That said, if she is turned on by fear/anxiety, and one of her fears is tickling, that's an acceptable "in" to me. So it's very subjective.

 

[brotherted]

I think it's not as simple as you guys are saying. There are some people who find tickling highly annoying and irritating, and react with a kind of "why would making someone else reflex jerk uncomfortably turn you on?" They can also think it's stupid and childish. Then there are another whole group who just aren't ticklish at all -- they generally aren't annoyed that you like tickling until they start to realize that it's only a matter of time until you wish you were dating someone ticklish instead of them.

And sure, some others are into it. I've dated all three types.

That's kind of limited. There are also people who like it, who find it fun and sexy, but don't want to do it instead of "regular" sex. There are also those who don't really have an opinion, but are pretty much okay with whatever turns their mate on, so they go with it, and have fun. And some who like it, but who've had bad experiences, so they're not ready to just jump into a hogtie. Plenty of flavors out there.

 

[chicago]

I told my partners pretty early on. Before there were deep feelings involved. That way it would be easier to decide if it was worth sticking around or not.

Maybe a couple weeks into dating. I'd bring it up nonchalantly as if it was no big deal, feigning confidence and avoiding the word "fetish". I'd just say it was a fun turn on and we should try it. Being nervous tended to temper the conversation towards being negative.

Always worked for me. They always reacted intrigued or at least nonjudgmental.

 

[BarbaricTickler88]

Well girls would probably be nonjudgmental with us guys if we could do that jedi mind control eye thing that you do in your gif. lol

 

[chicago]

It's really all about your attitude and timing I feel like lol but thank you!

I agree I would not want to engage in Tickle play with someone who was not into it like I was. For me to enjoy being tickle tortured I would have to know that the tickler was enjoying it as much as I was. A fake or unimpassioned response just doesn't do it for me because I like to see the look of intoxication on her face as she runs her fingers over my naked flesh forcing me to submit to her. I think generally if two people don't have compatible fetishes they probably will never have a happy sex life together.

 

[kingofkaboom]

I think people that don't have one probably view it just as odd as any other fetish, as innocent as it may be. I've never told any partner about it just because I can't imagine it going over so well. Once she realizes I get sexual pleasure out of tickling her feet, I might as well have told her I'm into urinating on people because the result will be the same. And I very well could be wrong about this, but I think it's different for a man telling a woman than a woman telling a man. I think that men are more open minded when it comes to sexual experimentation and so it would probably be easier for a woman to get a man to tickle her than a man trying to tickle a woman. Again, I could be wrong but that's just what I am lead to believe at this particular point in time.

As far as when to tell somebody about it, it definitely needs to come up at some point but I think some time needs to elapse first. I think bringing it up immediately will turn people away but you can't wait until you're about to be engaged or even married to have that conversation. But sometime in the middle, where you have a solid relationship going on but maybe not quite moved in together yet. This has both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that you both are comfortable enough with each other to share that kind of information. But the disadvantage is that if she is totally 100% against it and cannot be with you because of it, you could be emotionally invested in her enough to feel a lot of pain. High risk, high reward in a sense. Dating is hard enough as it is (at least for me) and it's especially challenging when there's no market for guys with tickle fetishes.

Then be something more than just a guy with a tickle fetish. If you bring something else to the table, like being funny, or smart, or (god forbid) decent in bed, a tickle fetish is merely a side dish.

Waiting until feelings develop to find out if you're sexually compatible just adds more pressure, wastes time, and is why people end up in unsatisfying marriages.

Rejection is a part of life and most people date a lot before they find someone to have a long term relationship with and most people have a few of those in their lifetime.

Being ashamed of what you're into leads to repression and then obsession. People end up seeking out tickling behind their partners back and neither ends up happy usually.

All because people are too scared to accept themselves.

Dating is hard. Life is hard. Nothing that worthwhile is ever easy.

When it comes to men vs women, that's bullshit too. If you bring it up early with confidence, it'll either go over well or it won't and you move on or accept that you won't get your tickle fix. Acting nervous and ashamed isn't gonna pique anyone interest because insecurity isn't sexy.

It's definitely easier to ask someone to dish out the tickling than it is to ask them to submit to it if they don't enjoy it. Many females are Lee's so I can see how that idea may have come about.

But I mean I know plenty of guys, girls, all shapes and sizes and walks of life that are able to get what they want tickle wise.

I realize that. I firmly believe that its only 0.1% of who I am. The problem lies when people see you for that 0.1% and not the rest of the 99.9% of you.

By God this dude hit it on the head.
How many women out there do you honestly think would be like "Well, I love this man with all of my heart, want to introduce him to my family, want to spend the rest of my life with him, marry him, have him be the father of my children, want him to be the man beside me when I'm on my deathbed dying..but there's no way in hell I'm ever going to tickle him/let him tickle me, eww.."

I mean, I suppose it can happen but I just don't see that being that common.
People will do damn near anything for someone they love. Fight, kill, go to war, end the fucking world, anything for that person.
Not to mention this isn't the 90's back when a lot of us grew up, where southern baptists were dragging homosexuals behind their pick-up trucks.
It's 2015. There's songs on the radio called "If you're a freak like me". Men can marry men. "What's your fetish" threads on Reddit get 4000+ upvotes and people comment and say "That's cute as hell" when a tickling fetish is mentioned. BDSM themed books and movies are best-fucking-sellers.
We're probably in the most sexually liberated era since the 1960's.
Everyone knows most people have a kink of one form or another, it's accepted as a normal part of human sexuality.
Hell, sex-ed classes in high schools have sections on "fetishes" in their textbooks in some parts of the country.

I feel like you've got the best chance today of finding someone who would be like "Hmm..that's cool!" when you tell them about your kink as you ever would in any era of human history.
And an extreme chance of them being at the very least marginally accepting of it within the bounds of a loving, long term relationship.

Just me though.

I think the biggest stumbling block is that a large portion of them want some kind of guarantee that their fetish will be not only accepted, but appreciated to the exact same degree and with the exact same specific interests, or it's considered a cruel, heartless rejection. If you want a relationship with someone who's exactly like you, your best bet is to be by yourself.

P.S. Happy Veterans Day.

Recently quasi-converted chick chiming in here:

It's one thing if we're talking about people who habor some kind of visceral hatred of being tickled. Fine. We all can agree on that I think.

But to be 100% honest here-the physical act of tickling or being tickled does nothing for me. Fun, yes. Not a turn on even in the slightest. But there are OTHER parts that come with the tickling/being tickled thing that totally turn me on-powerplay, for one. So I love positively demolishing Rec with a good tickle session. It's fun as hell, we both get turned on as mess, it's freaking GREAT.

So seriously, please, for the love of all that is holy do not rule out someone completely if they tell you "tickling isnt my thing." Because if Rec did that I would be missing out on the most fun in the bedroom I have literally ever had in my life.

So do all us non-tickle people a favor, yeah? 🙂

Good question. I've never gotten to that point where I felt the dire need to address it. I think about it quite a bit and there is never a scenario where I can envision it going well. It always seems like it'd be a total disaster. Why that is, I don't know.

How many women out there do you honestly think would be like "Well, I love this man with all of my heart, want to introduce him to my family, want to spend the rest of my life with him, marry him, have him be the father of my children, want him to be the man beside me when I'm on my deathbed dying..but there's no way in hell I'm ever going to tickle him/let him tickle me, eww.."

You mean other than my ex?

Anyway, I've been rejected for stupider things than a tickle fetish. Is it any less obnoxious that I got dumped by a gal who really, really needed a guy who was into extreme sports and didn't realize that despite my online profile going on at length about how I'm the kinda guy who likes movies and music that I, like, wasn't into extreme sports? Or the one who decided after two dates that I "wouldn't be a good father to her children" (she didn't have any)? How about the one that dumped me because I didn't call her over the weekend despite telling her I'd be too busy to call her over the weekend?

I film fetish videos as a hobby and I tell total strangers about it at parties. No one's called the cops yet.
